I don't know what to say other than for most humans if the threat is not right in front of their faces then nothing is done until a massive crisis develops. Health problems develop slowly so short-sighted people (over 90% of them) do not see the risk. We see the same in the financial world as the latest bubble-nomics event shows. I am not for bailing out investors that didn't learn the phrase "do not invest in that which you do not understand", and I am not for bailing out an individual with the latest astronomically expensive therapies who has lived an unhealthy life and then develops a life threatening disease as a result. As more and more people look to point the finger and run into the arms of government, I become more and more sick viewing this insanity. Do I sound negative? Too bad.

Hi Dan

Personally, you are right on! Our unhealthy lifestyle is just another manifestation of our overall behavior - to not see the "writing on the wall". Never believe or acknowledge the correctness of our forefathers; simply ignore them and let history repeat itself.
